Yesterday we noted that PC boxed copies of Deus Ex: Human Revolution had been region-locked. That wasn’t a popular decision, and now developer Eidos has backflipped on it, saying that it won’t pursue the plan.
As Mark over at Kotaku points out, that makes life a little tricky for local retailer OzGameShop, which had already decided to cancel existing orders for import copies when the lock emerged. The bigger picture lesson (from a Lifehacker perspective) that while there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t save money buying something on import, it can occasionally backfire.
